St. Louis and the Final Four


Coach LaHaye and I just returned from St. Louis where we attended the WBCA Convention and the Final Four. We had a great time! Bright and early Saturday morning, we participated in the 4Kay Run/Walk which raises money for the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund. It was a beautiful morning with the sun rising over the Mississippi River and the St. Louis Gateway Arch. We attended a number of sessions throughout the convention: on-court clinics, recruiting sessions, and awards presentations. It's always interesting to talk with other coaches and to learn from colleagues. I always enjoy watching the Final Four in person as well. There is a special energy during the games as so much is at stake. Enjoy the pictures below :)
